Hi everyone! If you are looking for the Hydrangea Hippo/100 Proof Press blog hop, go here.

Today I want to share with you a project I made with the new goodies I just received from Your Memories Here. The Winter 2013 collections from Prima are just gorgeous and I couldn't wait to play when my box arrived.

Hi everyone! If you are here for the Hydrangea Hippo/100 Proof Press Blog Hop, Welcome! You should have just gotten here from Tracy's blog. If not, you may want to go back to Hydrangea Hippo and start from there. There are prizes both from Hydrangea Hippo and 100 Proof Press so be sure and check out the blogs.

Hydrangea Hippo has teamed up with 100 Proof Press (they make the most amazing stamps) to create some super fun projects. I was simply thrilled to get the most gorgeous rubber stamps. You know I am not really much of a stamper...but these are just beautiful and the images are so crisp and clear.

Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you another project made with the April kit from the Sampler. The colors are just perfect for those spring time photos...even these of my oldest dying Easter eggs. He is such a trooper, he still plays along to make me happy.

So many fun elements in the kit. Cute buttons, lovely papers, great stickers.....And oh, how I do love that corrugated paper.

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine....busy. I can't believe Mackenzie is 15! And, I actually convinced her this year to have a party! Yesterday my house was filled with teenagers listening to music, playing video games, hanging in the hammock and of course eating everything they could find! lol Actually, we did BBQ...but they do eat quite a bit. lol

OK, well enough about Mackenzie's party....how about a bit of scrappy goodness. Today Heather has a fabulous sketch up on her blog and you know I had to play along.

Here is the sketch....

And here is my take....

Ainsley dying Easter eggs just a few weeks ago. She had selected a golden egg decorating kit...which turned out not to be dye for the eggs...but paint. While they looked quite lovely, it really wasn't the same as dunking in the cups.

I used the new Echo Park Sisters mini theme kit, some lovely Studio Calico ephemera, a couple of Maya Road stick pins, and some gorgeous Thickers....lastly, I used some of the washi tape I have been hoarding. Not sure why I am hoarding it...I love the colors, the patterns, I just haven't really figured out a good way to use it?

Anyway, I hope you have a great day! For us...back to school and planning Brighton's Graduation Party.

hi everyone! today I want to share with you a few cards I made using the Lush and Lovely Tags kit from Your Memories Here. This kit features any of the lovely papers from the Prima Rondelle collection.

When I saw this kit I just loved everything about it, the colors, the patterns, the floral embellishments. But I am not much of a tag maker so I decided to turn the tags into cards. It was very simple to use the ideas from the LWP class to create these.

I still have so many gorgeous goodies left over and I plan on making a layout or two using the rest of my kit...as these 3 cards barely made a dent. hee hee

Kristina told me she has just two of these kits left in the store, so pop over and grab yours before they are gone.
